Wirral Egg Run

thumbs wirral egg run 3 Wirral Egg RunWhat an amazing day out some many bikers on 2,3,4 wheeels the friendship was great. Met Crezz at 8 am and rode to his friends house and a welcoming brew and bacon buttie!! Many many riders came to the house I wonder what the neighbors thought!?  We then finally rode to the meeting point at the sea front – oh boy what a sight wall to wall bikers buttie vans and drink stands. Finally we all made a move … how do you get thousands of bikers to funnel through such narrow roads but we managed then all the crowds which lined the roadside and cheeering and waving – a never ending crowd on the entire route , even at the hospital. We did not stay because we needed more than a burger and chips for food, but the memory of that day will stay for a long time!!

Thanks to Toni Bayliss for the Egg Run Report. Ed.

The 2010 event will take place on Sunday 28th March 2010 with full support of the council, the police and Wirral NHS the event will go ahead and will leave at 11am from New Brighton with the Mayor leading the group. The route leaves New Brighton along our predifined 20 mile route and takes about 45 mins to travel to Clatterbridge. It will follow a route through Wallasey Village Road (B5477), Leasowe Road (A551) to Morton Cross, Hoylake Road (A553), through Meols to Hoylake,(A540) through West Kirby, Caldy, Thurstaston, Heswall turning left into Park Gate lane towards Thornton Hough and then on to Clatterbridge Hospital. thumbs wirral egg run 2 Wirral Egg RunIt is estimated that the run will last up 3hrs from start to finish on a rolling basis. The nearside lane will be designated only for event traffic until the tail end vehicle clears each stage of the event. Whilst the event is running the offside lane will be opened as normal to allow flow of on-coming traffic, however there will be no right turns from this lane for the length of the route. All side roads on the near side will be closed by a Temporary Traffic Road Order (TTRO) to ensure the safety of the events participants. Full details on meeting point and run to New Brighton to follow nearer the event date.

  1. I will be on this in my RBLR riding capacity.

    Anyone else wish to join us?

  2. Have you got room for a Trike?????????????? count us in .. will be better for us the bracing sea breeze and warm sunshine (haha) What do we have to bring??

  3. Try this link for more info: http://www.wirraleggrun.co.uk/wirral-egg-run/faq/what-is-the-wirral-egg-run/

    We can sort out meeting up and going together later.

  4. no probs buddy. have already been on website to get the rules an regs. e mailed guy abt the helmet stance cos we are trikers – he replied as long as its road legal he is ok with it. either send us an e mail or drop a line here. hope this ok with you. Dave on toni’s laptop by the way just in case she gives me a rocket!!

  5. Is there anybody else doing this apart from Dave, Toni and I?

  6. Jackie and I usually do the Egg Run, its a great day out and a good start to the season. Unfortunately we are up in Edinburgh that weekend with friends celebrating a birthday. Have a good day and don’t forget to take money rather that Easter Eggs, they get thousands and don’t know what to do with them all.

  7. Just to confirm will meet you the other side of the Whallasy tunnel at 8 am and go for a light breakfast and brew. Bringing camera too. If we cannot squeeze by the motor cycle lane what will they class a trike as? at the pay booth. Perhaps the nice man will let me go through for nothing!!

  8. Yes I will see you on the other side at 0800hrs.

    It is only £1.40 if you can’t fit through the bike lane.

  9. Fantastic day, good company and beautiful weather, couldn’t ask for more.

    Don’t know how many bikes, but there were a lot.
